Former President Donald Trump, Republican candidate in the American election in November, presented this election as a turning point in the history of the country, evoking a “butchery” for the United States economy if he does not was not elected against the Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

“November 5 will be the most important date in the history of our country,” Donald Trump said at a rally of his party in Vandalia, Ohio (north), four days after ensuring the Republican nomination, as President Biden did in the Democratic camp.
Describing his Republican primary victory as “the fastest ever,” he noted that it also meant a wait of more than seven months before the “rematch” of the 2020 election.
“It’s an eternity when you have incompetent people at the head of the country and leading it to its downfall,” he said.
Criticizing what he described as Chinese plans to build cars in Mexico and sell them to Americans, he said, “They won’t be able to sell these cars if I’m elected.”
“If I am not elected, it will be a butchery for the country,” said Donald Trump, seeming to evoke a deterioration of the economic situation in this hypothesis. He had just deplored the threats weighing on the American automobile industry, which according to him will be “the least of the worries” for the United States in the event of Joe Biden’s reappointment.
The latter’s campaign team reacted with a press release calling Donald Trump a “loser” of the 2020 presidential election, who “is doubling down on his threats of political violence”.
“He wants another January 6,” said Joe Biden’s campaign team, referring to the attack on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters in 2021, “but the Americans will inflict another electoral defeat on him in November , because they continue to reject his extremism, his taste for violence, and his thirst for revenge.
The rematch of the 2020 election does not seem to arouse enthusiasm, in particular because of the advanced age of the two candidates: 81 years old for Joe Biden and 77 years old for Donald Trump. But the duel promises to be particularly acrimonious, punctuated by attacks on their physical form and their cognitive abilities.
